Where are the origins of the Trencadis style of mosaics?
Trencadis is a style of mosaics created from the irregularly shaped fragments of ceramics (tesserae), in the origins the ceramic could include tiles, dishes, and any ceramic fragment. The inventor of the style is considered to be the architect, Antoni Gaudí, and his associate, Josep María Jujol. Their technique of directly adhering the ceramic shards or tesserae on the substrate with a mortar permitted them to clad the curved shapes of the modernist Catalonian architecture with a protective and decorative finish of ceramic.
We are inspired by their creative vision to continue innovation this centennial style.
Who can install trencadis?
We provide precise installation instructions for the correct application of our mosaics, recommending the appropriate technique and placement materials for each surface to clad. For custom pieces we also provide a full mounting diagram to install the pieces correctly. Everything is designed so that any trained tile placer can install our trencadis panels.
